Devils’ Blandisi penalized for flop worthy of World Cup or NBA

On Tuesday night, New Jersey Devils forward Joseph Blandisi showed the world exactly why such rules exist. As you can see in the video above, Flyers defenseman Andrew McDonald certainly earned a penalty with a slash to the back of Blandisi’s calf.

But Blandisi’s subsequent acrobatics landed him in the penalty box and turned a Devils power play into a 4-on-4 situation.
